The three Fort Stewart soldiers are scheduled to be arraigned Thursday on charges of malice murder, felony murder and criminal gang activity in the Dec. 4 slayings of former soldier Michael Roark and his girlfriend, 17-year-old Tiffany York.

As Peden was on the stand during Thursday's court hearing, a relative of York tried to rush the defense table, and at least four deputies and officers wrestled the family member to the floor and handcuffed him.
